Freelance WordPress Developer

I build WordPress sites that look good, load fast, & rank high - local business sites, membership sites, event booking sites, headless WordPress & more.

Nottingham WordPress Developer

I focus on building WordPress websites that load fast and rank well. By building WordPress sites from the ground up to be fast, responsive, and without the usual plugin bloat I can ensure that your site will be a pleasure to use. My technical SEO experience will also ensure it ranks highly in search engines. I also specialise in rescuing old or unloved WordPress sites that haven't been updated for many years and are in need of some TLC!

WordPress Development Services

I offer a range of WordPress development services to help you get the most out of your WordPress site. Whether you need a new site or just want to improve an existing WP site, I can help.

  • Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)

    Want to add custom fields, post types, or custom data to your WordPress site? I can help you get the most out of ACF and extend your WordPress site to do much more.

  • Bedrock Projects

    Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best dev tools, project structure, and Composer support. I can help you get started with Bedrock and build bespoke WordPress sites using this stack.

  • Divi Development

    I have a lot of experience working with the Divi Theme & Divi Builder - the most popular WordPress theme in the world. I can help clients get the best out of Divi, whether that's building a new site from scratch or improving an existing Divi site.

  • Custom Gutenberg Blocks

    I build custom Gutenberg blocks to extend the functionality of the WordPress editor. This will allow you to drag-and-drop bespoke layouts and content into your pages and posts.

  • WordPress Speed Optimisation

    Most WordPress sites are slow, bloated, and difficult to maintain. I can optimise your WordPress site to make it load faster on the frontend as well as the backend. I can also help you reduce your hosting costs by moving your site to a more suitable hosting provider.

  • Custom WordPress Themes

    I use _tw to create custom WordPress themes based on the Tailwind CSS framework. This allows me to create bespoke WordPress themes from Figma mockups that are fast, lightweight, and easy to maintain.

  • WordPress Support & Maintenance

    I offer WordPress support and maintenance packages to help you keep your WordPress site up-to-date, secure, and running smoothly. I can also help with content updates, SEO, and more.

  • WordPress SEO

    There's no point having a great website if no one can find it! I can optimise your WordPress site for search engines and help improve your rankings in Google.

  • WordPress Security

    WordPress is a secure platform but it's also a popular target for hackers. I can secure your WordPress site and strip out unnecessary plugins or code to reduce the risk of a security breach.

  • Headless WordPress Development

    Want to keep WordPress as your CMS but move the front-end to another framework? I can set your WP site up as a headless CMS and also build the frontend using Next.js
